A Crazy Day, But a Neat Experience!

Ohh my heck it has been the most craziest day ever. Well it started off with this morning i woke up and just knew that i had a lot to do today, so i hurried and got showered and got ready for the day, most days i don't usually get shower until like 10 or 11 in the morning, I usually get jayden bathed and fed and then i get ready, but today i just knew i had a lot to do so first thing this morning was showered, after that i got jayden in the tub and put a onezie on him, fed him breakfast and then i was heading to go to his closet and grab his clothes to get him dress, well as i got to his bedroom my cell phone rang, so i just let it ring, and just thought who ever it was i would call them back, well it stopped and then it started ringing again, so i ran into the kitchen to see who it was, well it was my friend malea that is 9 months pregnant and it already over her due date already, so i hurried and answered it, thinking ohh my heck somethings happened. Well i answered it and i hear her on the other end saying" Mandee will you come get me, Please somethings wrong!" I automatically freak out, because just the sound of her voice i could tell something was wrong, so i just hang up grab Jayden, who's just in his onezie and grab my shoes and run out the door, I get to her house which is only like a few blocks away and storm in her front door and there she is hunched over on the side of the couch having contractions. Her mom was down from Arizona and so she told me to take her to the Dr out here and just have them check her, and she would watch Jayden for me, so i help Malea out to my car. She is in so much pain, i am so scared and don't know what to do, i never did this before, and i am so nervous for malea. Well you probably wondering were her husband is.., well he's over in Farview working and he doesn't have a cell phone, and they only have one car and he took it to work that day. So i get her to the hospital and they check her and she is already dilated to a 5. He OB Doctor is out of Spanish Fork/Provo that she has been going to through out her whole pregnancy. She was planning on trying to do a V back with this baby. Well after they checked her they decided that there would be know way they she would be able to make it to Provo, so they admitted her here at the Nephi hospital and decided to get her ready for an emergency C- section, because they don't do V back down her. So i am panicking because they can't get a hold of her husband and he is going to miss the whole thing if he does hurry. And i could tell she was panicking too because she didn't want to do this alone, so as they were getting her ready the nurse asked her if she would like me to take the place of her husband until he got there. And she told them yes. So they took me and i had to go get scrubs on and everything. It was so crazy. And then they came and got me and i sat on the stool on the other side of the curtain, like the husband would do and talked to her and comforted her. And got to watch the whole C-section, ohhh it was gross, i took pictures and kept her calm. it was actually a very neat experience, because usually when that's you, you normally don't get to see any of that, and it brought back a lot of memories of when i had to have a C- section with Jayden, but to actually get to watch in stead of do it was a really neat experience. I honestly know now what the husband go through. By the time her husband even got there she was already in the recovery room. But i am glad that he finally made it and that i could actually be there for her, because if that was me i would not have wanted to do that alone either. She is such a really good friend to me and so i am so glad that i was able to experience the birth of her baby boy with her and that i could be there for her, because i know she would have did it for me. It was the neatest experience ever.
